He's supposed to be on the left side.
It's a different challenge, but something we've tried to do all season long is just learn how to play with one another. And what I mean by that is to play to everybody's strengths, know what our weaknesses are and how to counteract that, pretty much pick each other up.
I'm just sick and tired of talking about it. It's been two years. Enough is enough.
I told my teammates to pick up the slack. My hand was bothering me, so it was tough for me to shoot the ball. ... I just decided that I cannot miss these (three at the end).
It took away from the nerves a little bit.
I think it's a learning experience. We've learned we have to do a better job of closing those games. We'd much rather have won them, but we're not that far off. A play here and there and we're in a completely different position right now.
I just take it as him trying to motivate us.
I don't know what to say. I'm happy to win MVP in Philadelphia. The booing was just hurtful. But it's not going to ruin this day for me.
It’s not a question of if we make the playoffs; we will. And when we get there, I have no fear of anyone.
I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up, though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.
We didn't execute. Tonight they stepped up their pressure.
We're just not going to do it, period.
We both know what we need to do. And we're both determined to make it happen.
